🧙Today's is for the Witches!🔮

Fact: A "familiar" is a mystical animal that aids witches in their magical work. They are said to be spiritual guides and protectors, and often times take the form of a black cat!
Do you have your own familiar at home? Whether its a spooky black cat, a slithering sidekick, or an arcane canine, we want to see them! Share your pictures in the comments! 🎃🐍😻

🔆Vet Tech Week Spotlight🔆
💜Meet Holly!💜
Here at Vital Vet, Holly wears many hats. She’s not only a Licensed Veterinary Technician but also a Certified Veterinary Practice Manager (CVPM) and our very own Practice Manager. Her ability to multitask is unmatched. As an LVT, watching her move through our treatment area managing inpatient care while also supporting our team in rooms is like watching a choreographed dance, and she nails it every time. 💃
As a hospital leader, she’s a fierce advocate for continued learning and always encourages our team to push forward, improve, and reach new heights. The Vital Vet Animal Hospital you all know and love would not exist without Holly's passion for patient care and her drive to lift up those around her. 📚✨
💜💙🩵💚
Make sure you request a hospital tour next time you come in to see this rockstar LVT in her element! And don't forget to leave her some love here in the comments. Happy Tech Week!

🔆Vet Tech Week Spotlight🔆
💜Meet Sarah!💜
Sarah has been a licensed veterinary technician for many years, but her Vital Vet journey started back in April. Since then, she has made a second home for herself at the microscope in our lab. With a degree in both Organismal Biology and Chemistry, that shouldn't really come as a surprise. We affectionately refer to her as the "pocket pathologist" when we send her microscope slide pictures for quick identification.
When she is not flexing that LVT expertise, Sarah is also a published YA author! She is a bookish girly at heart and is always up for a conversation about her latest read. Ask her what's in her TBR pile next time you see her, and don't forget to leave her some love in the comments too! Happy Vet Tech Week!

🔆Vet Tech Week Spotlight🔆

💜Meet Sam!💜
Sam may be our newest LVT team member, but she fit so perfectly its like she's been here the whole time! She started with us in June and ever since has been bringing her calm, soothing demeanor to everything she does. Patients are always at ease when they are under her care. With her great sense of humor, Sam makes sure there are always positive vibes here at Vital Vet.
When she's not being a rockstar vet tech, you can find her with a good book, usually outside enjoying whatever the season has to offer.
Leave some love for Sam in the comments and don't forget to say "hey!" next time you visit us!

🎉Happy National Veterinary Technician Week!!🎉
It's that time of year again, and Vital Vet Animal Hospital has the absolute best vet techs around. All week, we will be celebrating these amazing humans with social media spotlights and shoutouts so stay tuned!
💚💙💜🩵
In the meantime, lets take a second to talk about why being a vet tech is so cool! Vet techs do it all, from exams to lab testing to anesthesia to education. Every day they get to advocate for patients who cannot speak for themselves. What could be more rewarding than that?
💚💙💜🩵
We recently sent this flyer to local high schools in our area to let students know that a career in veterinary medicine isn’t just about loving animals—it’s about using science, skill, and empathy to make a real difference. By sharing this with students, we hope to spark curiosity, inspire future caregivers, and remind our community that extraordinary patient care starts with passionate people.
💚💙💜🩵
Like and share this post if you know some one who would make a great veterinary technician!

🕷️🦇 Fact Check Friday: Are Rats Spooky… or Sweet? 🐀🎃
Let’s bust some myths this spooky season!
🧛‍♀️ They may star in haunted houses and horror flicks, but in real life…
Rats make AMAZING companion pets!

👻 MYTH: Rats are dirty and gross.
✅ FACT: Pet rats are actually very clean!
They groom themselves constantly and are less smelly than many other small animals (with proper care).

🧙‍♀️ MYTH: Rats are mean or aggressive.
✅ FACT: Rats are incredibly social, affectionate, and smart.
They love cuddling, learning tricks, and even respond to their names!

They’re more “tiny dog” than tiny monster. 🐶❤️🐀
🎃 This Halloween, let’s stop fearing the rat and start appreciating the kind, clever companions they truly are.

If you need care for your little critter, we’re here for you at Vital Vet Animal Hospital! 🩺🐾

🎃👻 Halloween is Sweet… But Not for Pets! 🍫🐾

Candy corn, chocolate, raisins, and sugar-free gum might make our treat bags tempting, but they can spell real trouble for pets. Even a small nibble can cause big problems — from tummy aches to toxic reactions.

Our latest blog breaks down the most common Halloween hazards for cats and dogs (and what to do if they get into something spooky). It’s a must-read for every pet parent this season!

🧛‍♂️🩸 "I Vant to Draw Your Blood!" 🐾
(But just for your pet’s health, we promise! 😉)

It’s not just vampires who are interested in blood...
At Vital Vet, we know that preventative blood work is one of the best ways to detect hidden health issues before they become serious. 🧪✨
Even if your pet seems healthy, blood tests can reveal:
🩺 Organ function (liver, kidneys, etc.)
🦠 Infections
💉 Early signs of diabetes, anemia, or inflammation
🧬 Baseline values for future comparison

Think of it as your pet’s vital stats report—straight from their bloodstream. Schedule your pet's wellness blood screen today!

🍂 Fact Check Friday: Can Pumpkin Help Your Pet? 🎃🐾

👉 Yes—but with some important guidelines!
✅ FACT: Plain, cooked pumpkin can help support your pet’s digestion.
It's rich in fiber, which can help with both constipation and diarrhea when given appropriately. It’s also packed with vitamins A, C, and potassium.

❗ BUT… Not all pumpkin is pet-safe.
🚫 Pumpkin pie filling often contains sugar, spices, or xylitol—which can be toxic to dogs and cats.
✔️ Always use 100% plain canned pumpkin (not spiced or sweetened).
👩‍⚕️ As always, check with your vet before making dietary changes—especially if your pet has ongoing digestive issues.

Have questions about your pet’s diet? Call us or schedule online—Vital Vet is here to help!
